INSTALLING THE EXTRACTOR
1. Before carrying out the appliance installation, please check
that all components are not damaged, in such a case contact your retailer and do not carry out
any installation operation.
Before the installation of the Downdraft, please remove the safety piece you can see in the
picture. Furthermore, please read carefully all of the following installation instructions:
› Use an air exhausting pipe whose maximum length does not exceed 5 meters.
› Do not use flexible ducting.
› Limit the number of elbows in the piping, since each elbow reduces the air capacity of 1
linear meter.
(eg. if you use no. 2 x 90° elbows, the length of piping should not exceed 3 meters).
› Avoid abrupt direction changes.
› Use a 150mm constant diameter rigid ducting pipe for the whole length
(or equal surface area).
› Only use ducting approved by the standards in force.
The manufacturer shall not be deemed responsible for air capacity or noise problems caused by
failure to comply with the above instructions and no warranty on the product shall be provided.
2. Before making the hole, check that there are no structural or other parts inside the cabinet,
where the appliance is to be placed, which could hinder a proper installation. Check that the
dimensions of the Downdraft and the ones of the hob are compatible with the cabinet so that
the installation can be carried out properly.
3. Make a rectangular opening of 842 x 100mm in the back of the worktop.

4. Put the Downdraft in the opening, inserting it from above
as shown in (Fig. 1).
5. Fix the downdraft inside the cabinet, using the special
fixing brackets supplied with the product (Fig. 2). Insert the
brackets in the lower side of the downdraft (Fig. 2), in such
a way that there is a 2mm distance between the lower side
of bracket and the bottom of the cabinet (Fig. 2).
This distance will allow the traction to be positioned
downwards of the product, at the moment of fixing, in
order to have the stainless steel trim perfectly adhering
with the work surface. Before inserting the screws,
please make sure that the appliance is perfectly
perpendicular with the work surface.
6. If using an internal motor with the downdraft, place the internal motor in the desired position,
with the air outlet facing either upwards or downwards (Fig.3).The motor can be installed
either on the front or rear of the downdraft. Once the motor is installed, connect the ducting
to the air outlets.
